teleconference!
Karen Angle
- Apparently Karen Angle's favorite treat is cookie dough?
- Karen said that making the jump over to TNA with her husband Kurt meant
everything. She thinks TNA has given Kurt his life back as his health during
the long WWE schedule was at breaking point. She likes the fact she can work
and have her kids with her and she appreciates that TNA offers an easier
schedule.
- Karen approved that Angle had to lose his hair in the hair match against
Edge ay Judgment Day 2002. She finds bald man very sexy.
- She mentioned that she as very nervous when doing her first proper TV
performance with TNA and can remember shaking backstage. She says she will
always be nervous.
- An interesting question was asked about if she'd ever asked Kurt to walk
away from wrestling. Karen responded by saying "for the last three years
he was in the WWE I begged him to quit". She says that since Kurt has been
in TNA he's been the healthiest he's ever been.
- Kurt could kick Brock Lesnar's Ass in MMA according to Karen. She tells
a story where Angle challenged Brock in the ring and took him down a number
of times.
- Karen never appeared on WWE TV more than once because she didn't want to
live that life and schedule considering her kids. She revealed that her role
in TNA was supposed to be small but it took off from there.
- Interestingly Karen then mentioned that she has been a fan of wrestling
since she was 10, even before Kurt and that is why she appears so comfortable
with her on air role. (I respect her more for this)
- She says that if she had to she would get in to the ring, but would never
compare herself to any of the accomplished TNA womens wrestlers. She plugs
that TNA's ratings are the highest they've ever been now that there is a
women's division.
- Her foot is completely healed.
- Karen went on to say that when Kurt was in WWE it was a big strain on their
relationship and she was lucky to see him 4 times a month. Now in TNA they
are like newly weds since Kurt went away just 2 days after they were married.
- When Kurt left WWE she didn't want him to do any MMA, but now he's had
time to heal and is enjoying the lighter TNA schedule she'd support him all
the way. "Game on Kurt's ready."
- Sometimes she has to force Kurt to turn off his phone and relax and feels
it's important to switch off from wrestling when they are home.
- She continues to praise Dixie Carter and Jeff Jarrett for all they have
done for her family.
- During the time Kurt was in WWE Karen worked in sales and at one point
owned a nail salon. She mentions that for a few years she also looked after
Kurt Angle's great niece, even before she had children.
- Karen plugged Vince Russo, calling him an incredible writer and very creative.
Him and Kurt have let her have a lot of creative freedom with her character.
- Karen doesn't currently do house shows because of her kids. She is willing
if needs be but at this time she only does TV. As far as Kurt, even with
house shows the schedule is very easy on him.
- She revealed that she did some local modeling before meeting Kurt who at
the time was a sports news anchor but left it all to support Kurt and her
family.
- Karen came up with the idea where Angle was mean to their daughter and
the Vince Russo and Jeff Jarrett decided to bring Karen in. She is very surprised
at the longevity of her run and thinks creative are doing a great job with
it. So far she doesn't feel her role is too revealing and compared to past
WWE women's segments it's nothing.
- She believes Kurt could still be wrestling in 10-15 years. She can't see
herself anytime soon wanting Kurt to leave the business.
- If Kurt got a new WWE offer and he wanted to go back she would 100% say
no to the idea.
- Even when Karen was off camera fans still wanted pictures with her. (I
wonder why?)
- She feels the best work Kurt Angle has done is with Steve Austin in WWE.
- KAREN WOULD NEVER DO PLAYBOY.
- On the Impact special, Karen thinks it shows how well the company can do.
Everybody was so hyped.
- Kurt is currently doing some promotional work ready for the UK tour.
- Karen has not heard anything backstage about Impact possibly going live
or having a dedicated hour of TNA Knockout television, but thinks it would
be incredible for TNA if these things did go ahead. She plugs the Knockouts.
- As long as her children came to TNA she would be 100% supportive of them
getting in to the wrestling industry.
- Karen says she monitors what her daughter watches in regards to wrestling.
Despite this she says that her daughter understands wrestling is fake and
once told her and Sharmell that they did a great job.
- Elizabeth and Sherry Martel were huge inspirations to Karen.
- Karen wouldn't comment on anything drug or Benoit related but stated that
Kurt is much healthier in TNA than WWE.
- She thinks the TNA women tower above the talent of what the women in WWE
have.
- Karen mentions that she did have aspirations to act but never really got
in to it after she married Kurt. But now is the perfect opportunity for her
to have her own career and her family.
- Kurt is very intense on camera and at home. He gives 200% all of the time.
He is always a daddy in front of the kids.
